there used to be, but there mostly isn't anymore.  The history portion
of the svn is admittedly terrible.

The kernel portion is particularly bad as its done against a quilt
series that is tracked across and merged from a couple of svn's.  With
branching of different kernel versions not happening correctly.

There are in fact some fixes that haven't been applied to the 2.6.25
branch but I haven't had time to update the 2.6.25 branch yet.  The
update will happen soon.

Yes.  While there are some issues with the tomoyo patch series we are
going to port to it, as it has a much better chance of going up stream.
